Summary:
Zip code 02813 has one listed school, Charlestown Elementary School, which serves kindergarten through grade 4 in the Chariho district. With no other listed local school, parents have no nearby school-to-school score comparison in these data. The most important concern is that proficiency at Charlestown fell substantially from 2024–25 to 2025–26, particularly in math.
Charlestown’s latest results are stronger than the state’s overall, but below the district’s: in 2025–26, ELA proficiency was 35.7%, 2.6 percentage points above the state and 9.0 below the district; math was 39.3%, 7.4 points above the state and 4.6 below the district. Results vary sharply by grade in math: grade 3 scored 26.2%, 10.9 points below the state, while grade 4 scored 47.1%, 12.0 points above it. In ELA, grades 3 and 4 were slightly above the state, by 2.0 and 0.5 points, respectively. Since Charlestown is the only listed school, it is both the highest and lowest locally; there is no meaningful local ranking.
The year-to-year decline was steeper at Charlestown than in the district: its ELA result dropped from 46.1% to 35.7% (10.4 points), and math from 58.8% to 39.3% (19.5 points), while district results fell by 2.4 and 1.5 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking also moved from the 73rd percentile in 2023–24 and 2024–25 to the 56th in 2025–26. The school has 246 students and a student–teacher ratio of 12.9; its 2024–25 free/reduced-lunch rate was 31.3%, offered here as context rather than an explanation of results. These figures point to a school currently above state averages overall, but with a notable recent decline and especially uneven math performance across grades.
